Taking a break from painting Dragonflies, I am heading in the direction of some of my favourite things. This painting had been brewing in my mind's eye for awhile until I thought I'd better just go for it. Of course my paintings generally have a bit of their own Free Will and evolve to something a bit different to what I had imagined. But that is the joy of art, painting and creating.
I have long held a love and fascination for our rainforest giants....the Strangler Figs and wanted one to be a main subject in this painting.
With all the rain we are currently getting here in Queensland, I am noticing alot of wee fairy seats.....Mushrooms......popping out of the ground. I just love these delicate little plants and also wanted them to be another focal point.
Of course the Moon is another favourite of mine and this Blood Moon calls on a memory I have from a camping trip to Coochie Mudlo Island (over 20 years ago) where I saw a giant red moon-rise which looked so much like a sunrise.....totally awesome!
